Main Findings / Conclusions

  2. The continued TDS deductions and signed balance confirmations raised a mixed question of fact and law, warranting a trial.

  2. TDS deductions continued till March 31, 2015, suggesting possible acknowledgment of debt.
  3. Section 19 of the Limitation Act, 1963 allows for a fresh period of limitation if payment on account of debt is made.

Action Points / Recommendations


  1. The legal implications of TDS deductions as acknowledgment of debt should be further examined in similar cases.
